(1) Background: OCT imaging has been used to assess enamel demineralization in dental research, but it is not yet developed enough to qualify as a diagnostic technique in clinics. The current capabilities of most commercial acquisition software allow for visual and qualitative assessments. There is a need for a fast and verified batch-processing algorithm to segment and analyze demineralized enamel. This study suggests a GUI MATLAB algorithm for the processing and quantitative analysis of demineralized enamel. (2) Methods: A group of artificially demineralized human enamels was in vitro scanned under the OCT, and ROI frames were extracted. By using a selected intensity threshold colormap, Inter- (Ie) and Intra- (Ia) prismatic demineralization can be segmented. A set of quantitative measurements for the average demineralized depth, average line profile, and integrated reflectivity can be obtained for an accurate assessment. Real and simulated OCT frames were used for algorithm verification. (3) Results: A strong correlation between the automated and known Excel measurements for the average demineralization depth was found (R2 > 0.97). (4) Conclusions: OCT image segmentation and quantification of the enamel demineralization zones are possible. The algorithm can assess the future development of a real-time assessment of dental diagnostics using an oral probe OCT.

The placement of dental implants in the pterygomaxillary region can be advantageous in maxillary complete arch fixed implant-supported prosthetic rehabilitations to avoid bone grafting and sinus elevation surgeries. Pterygomaxillary implants improve implant biomechanics by eliminating distal cantilevers and increasing the anteroposterior spread with reported mean implant survival rates comparable to traditional implant sites. Although only minor surgical complications have been reported in the literature with the placement of dental implants in the pterygomaxillary region this clinical report describes a major surgical complication involving the displacement of a dental implant into the pterygoid fossa.

Animal studies are pivotal in allowing experimentation to identify efficacious treatment protocols for resolution of peri-implantitis. The purpose of this investigation was to characterize an expedited dog peri-implantitis model clinically, radiographically, and microbiologically. Eight hound dogs underwent extractions (week 0) and implant (3.3 × 8.5 mm) placement with simultaneous surgical defect creation and ligature placement for induction of peri-implantitis (week 10). Ligatures were replaced at 6 weeks (week 16) and removed after 9 weeks (week 19) when supporting bone loss involved approximately 50% of the peri-implant bone. Microbial samples from the defects and healthy control implant sites collected at week 19 were analyzed utilizing a microarray. Clinical measures of inflammation were obtained and radiographic bone loss was measured from periapical radiographs. Radiographic depth and width measurements of bony defect were repeated at weeks 10 (baseline), 16, and 19. Canonical analysis of principal coordinates was used to visualize overall differences in microbial abundance between peri-implantitis and healthy implants. This accelerated disease protocol led to intrabony defect creation with a mean depth and width of 4.3 mm and 3.5 mm, respectively after 9 weeks of ligature placement. Microbial identification revealed 59 total bacteria in peri-implant sites, 21 of which were only present in peri-implant sites as compared to healthy controls. Overall microbial beta diversity (microbial between-sample compositional diversity) differed between peri-implantitis and healthy implants (p = 0.009). Within the limitations of this study, this protocol led to expedited generation of peri-implant defects with a microbial profile indicative of a shift to disease and defect patterns conducive to regenerative treatment. However, the possibility of potential spontaneous resolution of lesions due to the lack of a chronicity interval as compared to chronic disease models need to be further clarified and considered during preclinical peri-implantitis model selection.

A postmortem evaluation of a 5-implant-supported mandibular fixed complete denture that had successfully opposed a maxillary conventional complete denture for 30 years was undertaken. Before embalming, radiographs, implant stability measurements, push-in failure load tests, and histomorphometric analyses were performed on the implants and the mandible. Evaluation of this cadaver suggests that an edentulous mandible restored with an implant-supported fixed prosthesis can function successfully for over 30 years with few complications.

Statement of problem. Whether splinting or not splinting adjacent implants together can optimize the stress/strain transfer to the supporting structures remains controversial.Purpose. The purpose of this study was to compare the photoelasticity and digital image correlation (DIC) in analyzing the stresses/strains transferred by an implant-supported prosthesis.Material and methods. A polymethylmethacrylate model was made with a combination of acrylic resin replicas of a mandibular first premolar and second molar and threaded implants replacing the second premolar and first molar. Splinted (G1/G3) and nonsplinted (G2/G4) metal-ceramic screw-retained crowns were loaded with (G1/G2) and without (G3/G4) the presence of the second molar. Vertical static loads were applied to the first molar implant-supported crown (50 N-photoelasticity; 250 N-DIC). The resulting isochromatic fringes in the photoelastic models were photographed, and a single-camera 2-dimensional DIC system recorded the deformation at the surface of the resin models.Results. Residual stresses were present in the photoelastic model after screw fixation of the crowns. The following average photoelastic stress results (MPa) were found around the loaded implant: Cl (20.06), G2 (23.49), G3 (30.86), G4 (37.64). Horizontal strains (epsilon(xx), %) between the molars averaged over the length of the loaded implant were found by DIC: Cl (0.08 +/- 0.09), G2 (0.13 +/- 0.10), G3 (0.13 +/- 0.11), G4 (0.16 +/- 0.11). Splinted crowns transferred lower stresses to the supporting bone when the second molar was absent. The second molar optimized the stress distribution between the supporting structures even for nonsplinted restorations.Conclusions. Both methods presented similar results and seemed capable of indicating where issues associated with stress/strain concentrations might arise. However, DIC, while apparently less sensitive than photoelasticity, is not restricted to the use of light-polarizing materials.

Objectives. A validated numerical model for stress/strain predictions is essential in understanding the biomechanical behavior of implant-supported dental prostheses. The digital image correlation (DIC) method for full-field strain measurement was compared with finite element analysis (FEA) in assessing bone strain induced by implants.Methods. An epoxy resin model simulating the lower arch was made for the experimental test with acrylic resin replicas of the first premolar and second molar and threaded implants replacing the second premolar and first molar. Splinted (G1/G3) and non-splinted (G2/G4) metal-ceramic screw-retained crowns were fabricated and loaded with (G1/G2) or without (G3/G4) the second molar that provided proximal contact. A single-camera, two-dimensional DIC system was used to record deformation of the resin model surface under a load of 250 N. Three-dimensional finite element (FE) models were constructed for the physical models using computer-aided design (CAD) software. Surface strains were used for comparison between the two methods, while internal strains at the implant/resin block interface were calculated using FEA.Results. Both methods found similar strain distributions over the simulant bone block surface, which indicated possible benefits of having splinted crowns and proximal contact in reducing bone strains. Internal strains predicted by FEA at the implant-resin interface were 8 times higher than those on the surface of the model, and they confirmed the results deduced from the surface strains. FEA gave higher strain values than experiments, probably due to incorrect material properties being used.Significance. DIC is a useful tool for validating FE models used for the biomechanical analysis of dental prosthesis. (C) 2013 Academy of Dental Materials. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Pneumatization of the maxillary sinus limits the quantity of alveolar bone available for implant placement and may result in a lack of primary stability and difficulty in achieving osseointegration. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively analyze a group of patients who had implants placed in the posterior maxilla, calculate the prevalence of sinus augmentation, and identify factors related to sinus augmentation. With institutional review board approval, dental records from a population of patients who had implants placed in the maxillary posterior region between January 2000 and December 2004 were used to create a database. Independent variables were classified as continuous (age of the patient at stage 1 implant surgery [S1], time between extraction and S1, time between extraction and sinus augmentation, and time between sinus augmentation and S1) and categorical (gender, implant failure, American Society of Anesthesiologists system classification, smoking, osteoporosis, residual crestal bone height, implant position, implant proximity, prostheses type, and implant diameter and length). The dependent variable was the incidence of a sinus augmentation procedure. Simple logistic regression was used to assess the influence of each factor on the presence of sinus augmentation (P < .05). The final database included 502 maxillary posterior implants with an overall survival rate of 93.2% over a mean follow-up period of 35.7 months. Of 502 implants, 272 (54.2%) were associated with a sinus augmentation procedure. Among variables, residual crestal bone height (P < .001), implant position (P < .001), implant proximity (P < .001), prosthesis type (P < .001), implant failure (P < .01), and implant diameter (P < .01), were statistically associated with sinus augmentation. Within the limitations of this retrospective study, the results suggest that more than half (54.2%) of the maxillary posterior implants were involved with a sinus augmentation procedure. The prevalence of sinus augmentation increased with decreased residual crestal bone height, more posterior implant locations, and complete or partial edentulism. Sinus augmentation was significantly associated with implant failure and wide implants.

Purpose: A digital image correlation (DIC) method for full-field surface strain measurement was used to analyze the effect of two veneering materials for implant supported crowns on the strain distribution within the surrounding bone.Methods: An epoxy resin model of a bone block was made by housing acrylic resin replicas of a mandibular first premolar and second molar together with threaded implants replacing the second premolar and first molar. Porcelain-veneered (G1 and G3) and resin-veneered (G2 and G4) screw-retained splinted crowns were fabricated and loaded with (G1 and G2) and without (G3 and G4) the presence of the second molar replica. A 2-dimensional DIC measuring system was used to record surface deformation of the bone block model at a frequency of 1.0 Hz during application of a 250-N load.Results: Maximum compressive strains (epsilon(XX), %) were found for the following regions: between molars, G1 (-0.21), G2 (-0.18), G3 (-0.26), and G4 (-0.25); between implants, G1 (-0.19), G2 (-0.13), G3 (-0.19), and G4 (-0.14). The magnitude of strains in the simulated bone block with the resin-veneered crowns was lower than that with porcelain-veneered crowns, irrespective of the presence or absence of the second molar.Conclusions: The softer resin veneer helped to spread the load more evenly amongst the supporting teeth and implants, thus reducing the strains in the simulant bone block. Conversely, using the harder porcelain veneer resulted in the load being concentrated within one or two teeth or implants, thus leading to higher strain values in the bone block.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to retrospectively analyze a cohort of patients who had implants placed in the posterior maxilla and assess and identify the predictors of implant failure. Materials and Methods: With institutional review board approval, dental records from a population of patients who had maxillary posterior implants placed were used to create a database. Independent variables were divided into continuous (age of the patient at stage-one implant surgery [S1], time between extraction and Si, time between extraction and sinus augmentation, time between sinus augmentation and Si, time between Si and stage-two implant surgery [S2], and the time between S2 and restoration of the implant) and categorical (gender, American Society of Anesthesiologists [ASA] status, current smoking status, implant position, implant proximity, residual crestal bone height, implant length and diameter, and sinus augmentation technique and materials). The dependent variable was implant failure, which was defined as complete removal of the implant. Simple logistic regression was used to assess the influence of each of the predictors on implant failure (P < .05). Results: The final database included 504 maxillary posterior implants with an overall survival rate of 93.2% over a mean follow-up period of 35.7 months. For the continuous variables, the age of the patient at Si was statistically associated with implant failure (P = .028), as was the time between extraction and Si (P = .014). For the categorical variables, ASA status (P < .001), implant proximity (P = .043), residual crestal bone height (P < .001), implant diameter (P = .050), sinus augmentation technique (P = .002), and sinus graft materials (P < .001) were statistically associated with implant failure. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this retrospective study, the results suggest that there are risk factors associated with maxillary posterior implant failure. Implants placed in areas with inadequate residual crestal bone height that required sinus augmentation were statistically associated with implant failure.
